When I turned the corner into the hallway, I almost had to laugh.
There were Lanie and Xander again, panting heavily, pressed up against each other, and about two seconds away from kissing.
“How many times is this going to happen before I have to kill you?” I said in a rough, manic voice that barely sounded like my own.
I hadn’t intended to threaten him like that, but as soon as I’d scented Lanie, a smell even sweeter and headier than usual, it was like some macho di ck part of my brain lit up.
“Whoa, what is this?” Zane said, walking up to us. He was holding the twins and giving Xander a furious. look. “Is this why you asked me to look after Issac and Alaina? So you could have Lanie to yourself?”
He growled at Xander, and Xander growled back, his wolf flashing in his eyes. Since when were they fighting again?
Lanie shook her head and pushed Xander off of her.
“I can’t take this anymore!” she cried, backing away from us. “We’re all acting crazy, and I know why?”
We all looked at her expectantly.
“I’m in heat again,” she said, wrapping her towel tighter around herself. As soon as she said it, it all made sense. Realization spread across Xander’s and Zane’s faces, too.
That’s why her scent was especially irresistible. That’s why it was turning all of us into actual animals.

“If we don’t take care of this tension,” she said, “then you’re literally going to rip each other’s heads off.”
I didn’t disagree with her. We were all fighting tooth and nail to get our wolves to shut the f uck up and

Wait…get it out of our systems? As in Xander and Zane, too? They both exchanged curious, excited
glances.
“What are you saying?” I asked.
I hoped to the go ds that it wasn’t what I was thinking.

“Think of it like a contract,” Lanie said. “Mason is my mate, full stop. He’s my partner, the one I want to be with, and I will always choose him first. But I’ll still have sex with Xander and Zane.”
White-hot fury churned thick and fast through my bloodstream, and it was all I could do not to yell my
protests.
Sex with her original mates? It sounded like my worst fears come true. What if she realized she loved them more than me? What if they formed a kind of bond could never understand?
I would never say this out loud, though. I wouldn’t give Xander and Zane the satisfaction.
I
“Just sex, nothing more,” she continued. “No love, no babies, no claiming. Sex, plain and simple. Whenever tensions get high, we use this contract to burn off steam and keep the peace.”
I tried not to look at Xander and Zane’s smug, eager faces. They were as sholes every step of the way, and they still got what they wanted. Typical.
“How long is this contract good for?” Zane asked. He took the words right out of my mouth.
